Jett and Hunter Lawrence once again owned the show, with Haiden Deegan doing the same in the 250 class. A bunch of rider comments here from last weekends Millville National.

Jett Lawrence: “Hunter [Lawrence] was riding really well and wouldn't let it go [in Moto 2]. My bike was better, but I had to be patient on the downhills. Hunter kept me honest, but we needed to keep the win streak going and I had to dig deep today to do that.”

Hunter Lawrence: “I just need to be faster. If I was faster, I would have passed [Jett Lawrence]. The kid is good. I appreciate how much work the team continues to put into the bike, and it was great today. We’ll keep working.”

Jorge Prado: “Today’s results weren’t what I was hoping for. I was able to put a fast lap down in qualifying and give myself a good gate pick with that. In the first moto, I got a good start, but the track was very rough and my setup was a bit off for the conditions and the downhill section. We went back and made some changes to the bike for Moto 2, which felt much better for me. I was more pleased with how that race went, but I started to tighten up towards the end. We still have more work to do this week, but look forward to continuing to make progress.”

Chase Sexton: “I didn’t have a lot of expectations coming back during the season. I think speed-wise, especially my first few laps, were better today than at RedBud, but we still have a lot of work to do. I enjoy Washougal, as well as the next few tracks coming up, so we’ll keep aiming to improve and get closer toward the battle at the front.”

Haiden Deegan: “First, congrats to JMart [Martin]. That was bad ass. All week I’ve been resting my [injured] leg and to come out and get a win, I’m stoked. We’ll look to get back to a normal week and come out swinging next weekend.”

Jeremy Martin: “I was definitely tired after Moto 1. We made a slight suspension adjustment, and I knew that if I got a start I could do something. My bike was on rails. It’s been an awful past two or three years [with injuries], but everyone stuck behind me. To do this in front of my family, friends, and this home crowd, it’s just a dream come true.”

Jo Shimoda: “After I got into the lead [in Moto 2] my rear brake was just totally gone. I couldn't do much [initially], but later in the moto as the berms built up, I was able to use them to my advantage and find some more speed. It’s not what we wanted but I’m happy to still be on the podium.”

Antonio Cairoli: Race one started badly. I collided with another rider, crashed and the bike landed on top of me - right on the exhaust side - burning part of my leg. I stopped to get checked out by the doctors and restarted because I wanted to finish the race at all costs to collect as much data as possible. Despite being a lap down in 40th, I fought hard and made it up to 23rd with a solid pace. Heading into race two, I wasn’t even sure if I'd be able to start, but in the end, things went better than expected. I gritted my teeth through the pain and managed to finish 10th. On the left-hand turns, I could lean and push, but on the right, it hurt, and I couldn't ride at my best. It's a shame because we could have had two good top-10 finishes, but we still gave it our all and gathered plenty of very important data. Now we'll take the information home and start preparing for the next challenge.

Justin Barcia: "Millville was good! Practice wasn't great, though, since I've been back, we've been using that session to just try and get myself comfy, and then each moto today we got more and more comfortable. Second moto was solid, we charged hard in both races and ended up getting fifth overall. I didn't expect a top-five just yet, but we will take it! We're making a lot of progress, the whole crew is doing a great job, and I'm excited to keep building into Washouga. After the break, I think we'll take an even bigger step forward."

R. J. Hampshire: Today was a really solid day. It was my best qualifying and I felt really good on the bike. I had a decent start in Moto 1, then worked my way up, and I felt like I had really good speed in that one to finish P4. Second moto, it wasn't the best start, but I made some quick passes and put down some good laps to find myself in fourth again. Overall, it was my best day on a 450 so far – we'll keep striving toward that overall podium."

Malcolm Stewart: "Millville was a good time! I was able to hang with the FXR crew, got some fishing in and met some awesome people along the way. In the end, we wrapped up the day with a solid P6, which felt like a good bounce back for me. I’m happy with that ride, and now it's time to reset and get ready for Washougal."
